What is conventional
- Blogging, Google adwords, SEO
- Visitor figures
What’s unconventional?
1. Satellites
2. Content
3. communities
4. Human
1.Build Satellites
Small
Free
Valuable (need to give a solution for a problem)
Complementary (make quality valuable visitors)
Example Tadalist Free list and complements 37Signals Basecamp applications. So the visitors are qualified visitors.
Example Gapingvoid.com widget.
A small cartoon wich you can place on a blog.
2. Put value on your Content
- Dichotomy
- Our Model
(put something online .. It’s 7 days for free and after that it would cost a small amount of mony. Than there’s a sense of urgence. Because you only have 7 days.)
3. Join Communities
- make connections and develop relations
- your company > your name > helpful, interesting
- Build trust (be your self not commercial)
- Meet them in person at meetups
Start your own community.
- cant always find the perfect community elsewhere.
- Easy to develop, hard to make popular
- seed it on the communities where you already have the trust..

4. Be Human
- Respond as actual person. Don’t have info or service mail adres but a real persons email adres.
- Enthusiasm
- How?
- Build trust!
- Passionate users
- Ambassadors
